Scientists Discover New Bug and Star Wars Geek Out About It

In a move that really should not be a shock to anyone, scientists have found a new creepy looking beetle in Papua New Guinea and have named it, "Trigonopterus Chewbacca" after the big ol' lovable beast in Star Wars.

I absolutely love it when scientists do things like this. Name new species after funny science fiction characters. It says, "Yeah, you made fun of us in school for being geeks, but now we are naming species! Take that!" Thank you!
